If we compare the current-generation Chevrolet Camaro SS and Ford Mustang GT, we ll notice that the first is slightly lighter than the second. Nevertheless, in his quest to score one for the Chevy team, the driver of the Camaro we have here put his machine on a diet before doing battle with a Stang. 6 photos
The Golden Bowtie model in question left the factory in eight-speed automatic form. And while the said tranny is a better choice than the six-speed manual for racing, the ten-speed auto packed by its opponent, a 2019 Mustang GT, is still superior.

This take on the classic
import vs. domestic war involves machines that have been taken down the aftermarket path, and we ll start with the pony.
